On the topic of studying grammar, I have made myself quite clear. I don’t study grammar, not in the traditional sense anyway. In my view the traditional sense entails reading a course book or attempting to memorise rules from tables.
Explain in detail about your learning approach as a learner. How do you make language texts comprehensible to understand if you do not study grammar at all in the beginning stage of learning?
Just take me as a case study. I would like to study Spanish without studying grammar. My level is null in all four skills such as reading, listening, writing and speaking. I am giving myself at least a year and will be studying every day.
Based on your learning approach, how exactly should I approach Spanish learning?
As a side note, there are textbooks that come with short reading texts that specificality contain that particular grammar rule that we are dealing with at the moment. That had been the case with German textbooks which were used by German teachers in a German language school.
An experienced teacher can clear a grammar point clearly without having a student goes through pages after pages on their own. Teaching methodologies have changed quite a lot since Krashen’s times and teachers these days encourage students to get exposure to different inputs(podcasts, youtube videos, etc) out of the class.
